This reminds me of the way people just assume kind people are easy targets.

If all you're willing to do is say "We're cooked" on a social media site, maybe it is all over.

If you're willing to struggle alongside your friends and neighbors for democracy, then we've got a chance.

So the operative question here is: is there more violent paramilitary support for Trump today than there was in the white South during Reconstruction for white supremacy?

In the same way that the media and elites in 2016 and 2024 acquiesced to Trump's election and re-election, it was white moderates, especially in the Republican Party, who doomed the South to Jim Crow after decades of insurgent violence and conservative legislative disfranchisement

the winners go to washington
they convene a new house
they choose a speaker

notice who isn't involved here? the president or the current speaker or the senate.
